Paul Vos
and
Andrew Bellis, a pair
of collateralized debt obligation structurers who recently resigned
from
Credit Suisse First
Boston, are both believed to be heading
to
Merrill Lynch
in similar positions.
Vincent Dahinden,
managing director in CDO structuring at Merrill in
London,
confirmed Bellis' hire but declined comment on Vos.
Neither Bellis nor Vos could be reached for comment.

Dahinden said Bellis will concentrate on cash
deals, but the firm runs an integrated team and he will also work
on synthetic deals if demand dictates.

CSFB's plans for replacing Vos and Bellis could
not be determined by press time.
